Please don't flame me - i don't like feeling like this!!
My DD is 5, and she is lovely, can be bossy and spoilt, but she is the most lovely loving and trusting little girl you could ever hope to meet. She does have some very slight, in as much as her teacher and i both think it will fall into place. Its much better than it was. She is having to have some extra help with her reading, but to be honest, i think she is a fab little reader, she is after all only five. Im pleased about the extra reading help if it helps her confidence. She has the best teacher we could ever hope for [lucky]
She is friends with two little girls at school and i am friends with their mums. Both of these mums are extremely competitive, openly and say thay they encourage their children to be so. In the sports day last year they were put out because no prizes were given for the winner and got their DD a medal themselves because she won, i was 
but thought, ah well. I am not competitive at all.
My DD was best friends first with one little girl and the third was put in their class this year, we were all glad as us mums are good friends. But just lately i have had to bite my tongue. Lots of little things, my DD getting upset because other girls pointing out that their colouring is so much neater etc. The other day my DD was in tears because the girls were teasing her about her speech. This isn't the first time, they say to her - you didnt say that word right, you can't talk properly, my DD was distraught. I said, oh perhaps X didn't hear you properly, she said, no, i did hear her and she doesn't talk properly, i am right and she is wrong - i was so angry and hurt for my little girl. Other parents said nothing, my DD in tears, i was so angry that i said, oh well X and Y must have cloth in their ears because i heard you and you said it perfectly. She did say this particular word correctly actually so why they were saying it i don't know.
Now today DD come home and said that she doesn't play with X and Y anymore 
.
I was really pleased that DD had formed qutie a close friendship with these girls and i enjoy the mums company, but i feel i am going to have to step back, as there have been more than one incident where my DD ends up sobbing and its all done quite underhandedly and i have often found myself having to tell my DD off for making a fuss while the other two sit there smirking, but i have to correct DD because she shouts because she gets frustrated.
I want to say something to the mothers but feel too nervous, and i can't make their daughters play with mine, and i know that there are plenty of other lovely children for DD to play with. I feel that it is because of their parents competitiveness that they feel compelled to point out DDs difficulties and i can only see this situtaion getting worse. Ironically, just that very evening before DDs teacher was saying that her speech is never picked up by the other children and no one makes fun of her.
I just couldnt help but thinking some pretty shite things yesterday and they are only little girls but im sorry but they ARE almost bitchy and can be quite spiteful and when its your DD on the end of it i think its difficult to rise above it. I know their mums mumsnet and well,if im identifiable by these details they might actually have a word with their kids and say that not everyone can be the best reader/runner/sodding best at everything. I have even heard one of the girls whispering about me that i am SO FAT! i promise you - im only a size 18FFs, that is so unhealthy for a five year old to have that attitude :( Im happy with my body thanks all the same.
